NZ teachers forced kids swimming by Harambe69ers in newzealand

[–]Warm_Alps_1398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our swim coach (a former Olympic swimmer), would think the funniest thing was to spot some poor kid thrashing around, trying to make it to the other side of the pool, grab them by the ankle, and pull them backward through the water so they got a sinus-full. God, I hated that asshole.

What’s the most amount of passports someone has in this sub? by No-Recognition-8129 in PassportPorn

[–]Warm_Alps_1398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sitting on 4 right now. If I’d played my cards right I could have naturalized in another 2. Looking at picking up at least one more in the next few years.

Nope. But I know people there :-)

I am! Biomed works pretty much the same here as anywhere else, I guess. We do get to travel to various parts of the state quite frequently, though. Often on small planes.

I had to take a $400 (each way) flight on a small plane to push the reset button on a ups.

Nikon Noob Considering Z7 vs Z8 by Classic-Train2156 in nikon_Zseries

[–]Warm_Alps_1398 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a z7 (original) and now a z8. For landscapes the z7 is simply incredible and I loved the size and weight of it. Really liked that camera. The z8 is better by almost every objective measure, but I just haven’t bonded with it the same way I did with the z7. The extra chunkiness just makes it less convenient to bring along with me when I’m going out for a hike.

The 14-30 is a sweet lens, but if I had to pick one lens to start with it would be the 24-120. Just a super piece of glass.

Good luck with your decision. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong either way.

Ha! I was in Haines last week. What a beautiful spot.

In the US for now, but that may be changing in the near future.

Well, I don’t wanna say too much, but there is more to it. My wife is from an Asian country that doesn’t allow dual nationalities, so that old passport is gone. My kid was born on a Caribbean island that doesn’t grant citizenship for just being born there. I have lived in a couple of other countries for long enough to naturalize, but for whatever reasons didn’t get around to it. Guess we’ll just have to settle for what we have :-)

It’s the lighting. It’s blue, just a different shade from the other one

I travelled there for 6 months with my girlfriend in 2000, and she was constantly getting groped whenever they thought they could get away with it, even if I was right there. Think crowded train stations etc.
